The primary DD proton spectrum is used for diagnosing the fuel-shell areal density ρR of imploded capsules on Shenguang III (SG-III) prototype laser facility for the first time. A charged particle spectrometer (CPS) with a CR39 nuclear track detector is used to measure the DD proton spectrum. The proton spectrum is determined from both the proton track and its size. A typical proton energy peak shift from 3.02 MeV to 2.6 MeV is observed in our experiment, which yields a maximum ρR larger than 6 mg/cm2 .

1. Introduction In inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments, attaining the ignition requires the capsule to be symmetrically compressed [1,2] to achieve a high density and a high temperature. To character the compression feature of the capsule, the areal density ρR is often used to indicate the compression degree. It is probable to realize the ignition only when ρR is more than 0.4 g/cm2 according to the Lawson criteria. The ρR is also strongly influences the degree of self-heating, the fractional burn, and the breakeven requirements. [3,4] It is critical to measure this quantity experimentally. Several methods have been proposed, among which the measurement of the energy peak shift of DD produced protons by a charged particle spectrometer (CPS) is an important one due to the close relationship between the compressed fuel and the particle spectral characteristics. It has been widely used to diagnose the areal density at several large laser facilities. [5–10] In Shenguang III (SG-III) prototype laser facility, the secondary neutron yield ratio method has been used to diagnose the areal density under a low density condition, [11] however an accurate measurement of the yield is necessary. The proton spectrometry method does not require any absolute number of the emitted protons (only their energy peak shifts are required) and is expected to be used in our experiment. As the energy of the DD proton is only about 3 MeV, the protons from the ablated plasma (always have velocities larger than 107 cm/s) will interfere the DD proton spectrum measurements when ρR is large enough to bring on a large proton energy downshift. Usually, D3 He protons [7] and DD secondary protons [6] are more suitable for the diagnosis of ρR due to their

higher energies. However, for the limited energy on Shenguang III prototype laser facility, the total number of DD secondary protons (3 He [< 0.82 MeV] +D→ α [1.7–6.6 MeV] + p∗ [12.6–17.5 MeV]) in DD implosion experiments is too low to give a spectrum. Fortunately, the imploded DD fuel density in our experiments is not so high that the maximum primary proton energy downshift is larger than 1.0 MeV, far higher than the energy of the protons from the plasma expansion. The protons produced in the laser plasma interaction have a maximum cutoff energy Emax = 3.51 × 10−6 (Iλ 2 )1/3 . [12] In our experiments, the laser intensity is about 7.1×1014 W/cm2 and the wavelength is 0.35 µm. If the laser is directly incident into the capsule, Emax is about 0.16 MeV. For the indirect-driven implosion, Emax is even low. These low energy protons will have no influence on the primary DD proton spectrum in our experiment. In this paper, the method and the results on the areal density measurement of an imploded DD target by using the energy peak shift of DD produced primary protons are described. The paper is organized as follows. Section 2 describes the experiment setup, and gives information on the laser and the target. In Section 3, the calibration of the charge particle spectrometer and the CR39 detector are presented. In Section 4, the possible noises on the CR39 detector are analysis and characterized, which is very important for obtaining the proton spectrum. In Section 5, the proton spectrum is gained by distinguishing the proton track from the noise track. In Section 6, some analysis about the areal density is carried out. A summary is presented in Section 7.

Chin. Phys. B Vol. 23, No. 7 (2014) 075207 2. Experiment setup The experiments were performed on SG-III laser prototype facility at Laser Fusion Research Center, China Academy of Engineering Physics. SG-III laser prototype facility is an 8beam neodymium-doped phosphate glass laser capable of delivering 10 kJ frequency-tripled laser in 1–10 ns, which is designed for indirect laser fusion researches. Its 8 beams gather to the two polar with an incidence angle of 45◦ relative to the perpendicular axis. In our experiments, 8 laser beams with total energy of 8×900 J and flat top pulse duration of 1 ns were incident into a hohlraum (diameter 1100 µm, length 1800 µm) to produce X-ray. The wall thickness of the hohlraum was 27 µm. The X-ray was then irradiated on a 320 µm diameter CH micro balloon with 19 atm D2 gas filled. The wall of the micro balloon was 20 µm. A hole of 250 µm×250 µm on the hohlraum wall was used for the diagnosis of the implosion protons. The laser beams were smoothed with CCP and focused to a spot about 400 µm in diameter. In order to obtain a more uniform irradiance, each beam was moved a small distance of 50 µm away from the polar sides to the equatorial plane. The average on-target laser intensity was ∼7.1×1014 W/cm2 . In the pure DD-filled target, the primary fusion reactions are D + D →3 He(0.82 MeV) + n(2.45 MeV),

Fig. 1. (color online) Schematic diagram of the charged-particle spectrometer (CPS). A 6.2 kG quadrate dipole magnet, 10 cm in its longest dimension, disperses protons in the energy range 0.5–10 MeV according to the ratio of momentum to charge. A CR39 nuclear track detector is placed 5 cm behind the CPS.

The proton signal on the CR39 nuclear track detector could appear only after a series of processing, however, the radiochromic dosimeters film (RCF) could turn color immediately after the protons radiated. In the CPS calibration experiment, an RCF was used instead of CR39 to record the proton signals. By adjusting the energies of the protons, the real relationship between the proton energy and the transverse deflection distance on the CR39 nuclear track detector was deduced, which is shown in Fig. 2. This distance–energy relationship would be used in the implosion experiment to estimate the energy of the protons.

Spectra were observed by using a charged-particle spectrometer consisting of a 6.2 kG permanent magnet with CR-39 nuclear track-etch detectors. The detector was placed at 26◦ in south-east on the target chamber equatorial plane. A 5 µm Al filter was used to protect the CR-39 detector from the laser accelerated proton and other ablator heavy ions. The 0.82 MeV 3 He, which has a penetration depth of only 2.5 µm in Al, could not be detected by the CR39 detector. The 1.01 MeV tritium could enter the CR39 detector, however its track size is different from that of the 3 MeV protons.

Proton energy/MeV

The charge particle spectrometer and the CR39 detector were calibrated in the GIC4117 accelerator at Peking Normal University. This accelerator could produce protons with a current down to 30 pA and energy up to 3.4 MeV. The energy spread could be lower than 1%. The spot size was about 10 mm. The schematic diagram of the charged-particle spectrometer is shown in Fig. 1. As the proton yield in the implosion experiment was low, a larger entrance aperture of 10 mm in length and 0.25 mm in width was used to collect enough protons. The proton detector was placed 5 cm behind the CPS. The relatively position between the CPS and the proton detector was fixed.

To prevent the influence of the other ions, the proton track on the CR39 detector was also calibrated. The relationship of the proton energy and the track diameter is presented in Fig. 3. The CR39 sheet was etched in a 6 mol/L NaOH solution (at temperature 60 ◦ C) for 6 h. The other heavy ions at the same position on the RCF had very different track sizes from that of the protons.

4. Noise analysis As the signal to noise ratio is very low in our experiment, an analysis of the noise is necessary. The TASLIMAGE system and the Color 3D Laser Microscope VK-9700K were used for the scanning and the analysis of the CR39 nuclear track detector. The noise could be produced before and after the experiment. Before the experiment, three different noises exist. The first noise is the dust on the surface, which is deduced by scanning several different CR39 sheets. The distributions of the track sizes are the same for all CR39 sheets and the number of the track will increase with time when the CR39 is exposed to air, which is seen in Table 1. The number density is about 104 cm−2 . This noise has a typical size of 3–5 µm, as shown in Fig. 4. The rmin is the short size of the track, and rmax is the long size of the track. The second noise is the intrinsic noise caused by the radioactivity in the environment. The number density is from several tens cm−2 to several hundreds cm−2 for different CR39 sheets. The typical shape of this noise is shown in Fig. 5(a). It has an isotropic distribution and the track usually has a tail.

The third noise is the defect, which has an irregularly size and can be expelled easily. To exclude these noises, the deepness of the protons track and the noise track was also measured by the Color 3D Laser Microscope VK-9700K, and the depth of the proton track was larger than that of the noise with the same track size. During the experiment, some other noises could also be introduced. The first one is the T and 3 He ions produced in the DD reaction. A 5 µm thick Al foil before the CR39 detector can prevent the 3 He ions with energy lower than 0.82 MeV. The T ion can penetrate the 5 µm Al foil, but the track size is larger than that of the protons at the same deflected position. [7] The second noise is protons produced in the interaction of laser plasma, which has a maxim cutoff energy Emax = 3.51 × 10−6 (Iλ 2 )1/3 . In our experiments, the laser intensity was about 7.1×1014 W/cm2 and the wavelength was 0.35 µm. If the laser was directly incident into the capsule,

Chin. Phys. B Vol. 23, No. 7 (2014) 075207 Emax was about 0.16 MeV. For the indirect-driven implosion, Emax was even low. These low energy protons would have no influence on the DD proton spectrum in our experiment. The third noise is the secondary neutron, which has a number of only 10−4 of the primary protons and can be ignored.

to decide the proton energy at certain transverse position of the CR39 detector. The relationship of the proton energy and the track size was used to eliminate the influence of the other ions. The finally proton energy spectrum is shown in Fig. 6.

As the TASLIMAGE system could only give the 2D image of the track and the size of the dusty was similar to that of the proton with energy between 2 MeV and 3 MeV, the experiment result was analyzed by the Color 3D Laser Microscope VK-9700K. The size and the depth of the track on the CR39 detector were measured. As the incidence angle on the CR39 was larger than 80◦ . The track with a tail was not considered as the proton track.

erate regime, pmin = p2⊥ + (¯h/2mr u)2 ; and p⊥ = et ef /mr u2 is the classical impact parameter for 90◦ scattering, with mr the reduced mass and u the relative velocity. However, in the low temperature and high density regime, the electron quantum degeneracy effects must be considered in calculating λD and pmin , and the electron temperature must be replace by an effective temperature. On the contrary, the electron temperature can be used directly to calculate λD and pmin . To describe the transition between these two conditions, an interpolation formula given by Ichimaru [14] is used in our calculation. As the fuel has a relatively high temperature and a small ρR, most energy loss occurs in the low temperature high density shell, for which ρR is almost temperature insensitive. [15] The proton energy shift is about 400 keV in our experiment

7. Summary In summary, the primary DD proton spectrum has been used to measure the imploded fuel-shell areal density on Shenguang III prototype laser facility for the first time. The primary proton energy spectrum was observed using a charged-particle spectrometer consisting of a 6.2 kG permanent magnet with CR-39 nuclear track detectors. The CPS and the the CR39 nuclear track detector were calibrated in the GIC4117 accelerator at Peking Normal University before the experiment. The noise on the CR39 was analysis and characterized. From the measured spectrum, a typical peak energy shift from 3.02 MeV to 2.6 MeV was observed, which infers a maximum ρR larger than 6 mg/cm2 .
